Less than half an hour later.
Ororo piloted the modified Blackbird jet to a nearby private airport and successfully arrived at Aaron Industries.
"Mr. Aaron, this is what you need. Thank you for your trouble."
Ororo looked at Hela beside Aaron with a strange gaze.
At this time, Hela was not wearing her Asgard leather, but a maid outfit instead. Hela didn't know the origin of this outfit, only finding it quite pretty.
After Aaron took the briefcase, Ororo took out a USB drive.
"This contains the data for the Brainwave Amplifier. Professor said that if you intend for Jean to use it, you must be careful of what's in her brain."
Regarding Aaron's request for the Brainwave Amplifier, Charles merely pondered for a moment before agreeing.
Even though this thing was quite dangerous, so what?
Could he refuse Aaron?
If Aaron wanted to do something, would he be unable to do it without the Brainwave Amplifier?
Even the beast in Jean's mind was a small fry in his eyes.
Who could stop him?
Charles knew this. Rather than refusing and causing displeasure, it was better to hand it over proactively.
Aaron was their only, and most important, ally.
Now they were sending Jean, Anna, and Kitty, and all the genetic data. If they stopped now, the sunk cost would be too great.
It wasn't worth it.
So Charles thought for a moment and arranged for another Mutant to deliver the items.
Aaron glanced at the woman behind Ororo. She looked somewhat like a younger version of Wu Jiaqi.
Ororo noticed Aaron's gaze and proactively introduced, "This is Clarice Ferguson, codenamed Blink. Her ability is to distort space to create portals."
"The USB drive was brought by her."
Clarice shyly looked at Aaron and said crisply, "Hello, Mr. Aaron."
"Hello Clarice, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Aaron extended his hand and shook Clarice's, praising, "Good ability, and a good person too."
Clarice blushed even more upon hearing this, her entire face red.
Ororo, who had been smiling, stiffened her smile.
Oh no, another young girl has been captivated.
Why is your charm so strong?
Are you sure you're not a legendary succubus?
Ororo somewhat regretted bringing Clarice.
Aaron, with just a smile, had captured the innocent Clarice.
Although Ororo was very reluctant to admit it, the fact was that Aaron exuded an indescribable charm.
His aura, his appearance, his every move, drove women crazy. Even she was quite smitten with Aaron.
This was also one of the reasons why Anna and Kitty actively sought out Aaron.
The charisma and status Aaron possessed were deadly to any woman.
But Ororo could still control this charm because she had to be responsible for the Mutants, the school needed her.
But Clarice…
Ororo sighed inwardly after looking at her.
"Ororo, do you have anything to say?"
Aaron noticed Ororo's subtle change in expression and feigned confusion. He knew her confusion, but he wouldn't explain why.
He could already freely control all hormones in his body, and could easily produce external hormones that enchanted others' minds and consciousness.
After acquiring Lorelei's abilities, his charm was further enhanced.
If he wished, whether it was a young girl or a mature woman, none could escape his grasp.
To put it bluntly, any female standing opposite him would have a negative buff applied before the battle even began.
Unless the opponent's mental power was too strong, strong enough to crush Aaron.
But that level, at least, didn't exist on Earth.
Ororo forced a smile. "It's nothing. I've already delivered the items. If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now?"
She looked at Clarice, who seemed quite reluctant to part.
Aaron gave her a feeling of being in love, like a Prince Charming from a fairy tale.
Perhaps this was what people called love at first sight.
Seeing this, Ororo sighed inwardly again.
"Mr. Aaron, Anna and Kitty are both here, right?"
Aaron nodded. "They're in my office. Do you want to see them?"
Ororo shook her head upon hearing this. "No, I still have many things to handle."
"However, Clarice has a good relationship with Anna and Kitty. She asked me about Anna before coming."
"I think… perhaps Clarice could chat with them for a while longer. You don't mind having one more person here, do you?"
Clarice's eyes were practically glued to Aaron. Ororo was certain that even if she dragged her away today, Clarice would probably secretly open a portal at night to come see Aaron.
Rather than being the bad guy, it was better to go with the flow and let Clarice stay here.
Clarice was stunned.
She has a good relationship with Anna and Kitty? Does she? How come she didn't know?
Her relationship with others at school wasn't great. Moreover, she was quite introverted, often spending her days in the library, and no one even pursued her, like an unnoticed transparent person.
But now…
Clarice nodded repeatedly, saying earnestly, "Mr. Aaron, can I stay? I'd really like to chat with Anna and Kitty."
"Of course, my… ahem, my home is very large, and my office is also large. Even if the number of people doubled, it wouldn't be a problem."
"Just stay here at ease. I'll take care of the studies."
Aaron naturally wouldn't refuse this small request.
Ororo rolled her eyes, feeling that it would be best to come here less often in the future. She felt that if this continued, even she wouldn't be able to resist falling.
After a few more words, Ororo saw that there was no place for her here, so she stood up and excused herself.
Aaron pressed the secretary bell, and Kitty dropped from the ceiling.
"Kitty!"
Clarice rushed forward with a joyful expression, as if seeing a good friend.
"You're… Blink?"
Kitty watched for a while, finally recognizing the other party as her classmate.
She was wondering why Clarice was here too.
"I've finally found you guys, I'm so happy."
Clarice tried very hard to act as if she had a good relationship with Kitty.
Once you tell a lie, you have to use countless lies to cover it up.
Even though Clarice and Kitty's relationship was just average, at this moment, they had to pretend to be very close.
Aaron then helped Clarice out. "Kitty, from now on, Clarice will also work at Aaron Industries, just like you."
"When the time comes, I'll arrange for the three of you to go to school together, like normal people."
Upon hearing this, Kitty cast her doubts aside and smiled, nodding in agreement.
Clarice breathed a sigh of relief. 'Fortunately, my acting is good, no one noticed anything unusual about me. Maybe I can become a big star in the future?'
Aaron called Kitty to take Clarice to Gwen's office. Gwen would help them get familiar with the new environment.
The Aaron Industries building was over a hundred stories tall. Just getting familiar with each floor's environment would take a lot of effort.
Even Gwen herself hadn't fully memorized every single spot.
On the other hand, Maria, who had only been here for two days, could accurately state the door number and purpose of every room on every floor.
